Recent trends in the EV industry
Compare the battery capacity and related performance of any three recent BEVs
| Model | Battery capacity (kWh) | Curb weight (kg) | Torque (Nm) | Horsepower (hp) | EPA Range (km) | 0-60mph (sec) | Top speed (kmph) | |
|
95 | 2615 | 561.3 | 355 | 357 | 5.5 | 200 | |
|
42.2 | 1348 | 269.8 | 181 | 246 | 7.2 | 150 | |
|
66 | 1619 | 360.65 | 200 | 417 | 6.5 | 145 |
- The most powerful car out of the three is clearly the 2021 Audi e-tron, with greater torque, horsepower, top speed. It is leading in all performance related parameters except the EPA range
- The range of Chevy bolt EV is greater despite its battery capacity being almost 30kWh lesser, and that is due to the amount of weight the Audi e-tron is carrying. It is about 1 ton heavier than the Chevy bolt EV, so although it can generate more power, acceleration, and torque, it also takes a lot of energy to propel it, hence using up 95kWh of battery quicker than the Chevy bolt EV
